Government workers sue to stop Trump from dismantling USAID
(USA Today) WASHINGTON − Groups representing foreign aid workers are suing the Trump administration to try to stop the dismantlement of the U.S. Agency for International Development, calling what's happening to the humanitarian agency an "unlawful seizure."
"It's a genuine moral crisis," said Lauren Batemen, an attorney with Public Citizen Litigation Group which is helping represent the American Federation of Government Employees and the American Foreign Service Association.
The suit, filed in Washington, D.C. federal court on Thursday, says the administration's stop work orders, funding freeze and staff reductions are costing thousands of jobs, threatening U.S. national security interests and causing a humanitarian catastrophe.
